song lyrics you got wrong but prefer your version

Let's talk Aguachile Alley

-I think this is a commonly misheard lyric, but for years I was sure the chorus of Drive Shaft’s hit song “Everybody” from LOST was “you are everybody” and not “you all everybody.” I assumed it was about ego death but this does not appear to be the case.

-Having heard the song before knowing its title I thought Nicolas Jaar was saying “space is only noise that you can see” (instead of “if”). The difference is really minor but I do prefer my version.

i missed this thread but was searching “disintegration” and it popped up and my answer is i always heard

i knew i’d be leaving you with babies and everything

as

you know i believe in you but faith isn’t everything

which i still think is a thousand times better
There’s no path to a satisfying conclusion at this point.

my friend the other day said that he thought the lyrics to the 3OH!3 song "don't trust me" were

tell your boyfriend if he's got beef, well i'm a sagittarius and i ain't fuckin scared of him
instead of
if he's got beef / i'm a vegetarian

In Angel Olsen's "Creator, Destroyer," for years I heard

Murderous bitch I'm out of my mind

as

Murder I spitshine out of my mind

and only realized my error when going on about how incredible of an image that line is to my wife's confusion

modest mouse - heart cooks brain

real "my brain's the burger and my heart's the coal"

me "my brain's the burger and my heart's the coke"

I guess I should have noticed this sooner because of the title of the song... but who doesn't want a refreshing soda with their burg?

This is sort of the inverse of the thread idea, but whenever i hear the lyric “oh baby let me in” in My Chemical Romance’s "Honey, This Mirror Isn't Big Enough For The Two Of Us,” i always think it sounds like “Buddy Lembeck, yeah!”

Like they’re celebrating scott baio’s friend from charles in charge:

When I first heard that song I thought they sang "Hardcore music electric we vibe oh!" and "bobblehead ringtone" instead of "Bob your head, rag top". I thought those were the correct lyrics for a good while because that song is so off-the-wall as it is.
Stabbing me 11 times only pissed me off.

I think we covered this in the Future of the Left thread, but always thought in "Arming Eritrea", it was "I know my own worth I'M AN ADULT", but was told it's actually "I know my own worth, and then I don't", which is obviously much worse.

Funniest one my wife had was when she was a kid she thought Mick Jagger sang "I ain't heck no! Satisfaction!" which is now the official lyric

Anybody else that I'm dating.
